The rule was "throw when the environment says production, otherwise log
the code and carry on". The deployment sets no such marker, so the
branch that ran was the developer one: every recipient and every usable
sign-in code printed to a retained log, the screen reporting success,
and nobody receiving anything.
That is what a fail-open default costs. The deployment that forgets its
mail settings is exactly the deployment with no marker saying it is a
real one, so it takes the lenient branch precisely when it should not.
Turned around: printing a live code is asked for by name and anything
else is an error, so absence of configuration is a refusal instead of an
assumption. Two settings out of three is also an error now, because it
means somebody is halfway through wiring a provider up and a quiet
fallback would hide the missing half.
Stages anyone else can reach are checked at deploy time, so a missing
setting stops the deploy with the name of the variable it wanted rather
than surfacing later as a person waiting for mail that never comes.
Signing in with a gaming account or with an SSH key could both bring a
user into existence. That makes an account only as recoverable as the
thing that created it, and gives one person as many accounts as they
have gaming logins — neither of which is what an account is supposed to
be now that verifying an address is what creates one.
Both are unwired rather than deleted. The provider implementations stay
where they are, because connecting a gaming account is still something
this product does; it just does it from the API, against a user who
already exists, which is a connection hanging off an identity rather
than an identity of its own.
The worker test followed: it exercised the two flows that are gone, and
now covers the one that is left plus an assertion that the other two are
not routed, so they cannot come back quietly.
Squashes the current state of the internal working tree onto this history.
The two trees had grown apart with no common ancestor, so this is a content
sync rather than a merge, and the published history is preserved rather than
rewritten — a force-push here would break every existing fork and clone to no
benefit.
What lands:
- Waitlist: API route, core module, and migration 0006 alongside game aliases.
- User verification.
- CI, oxfmt config, editor settings.
- Assorted fixes across the API routes and core modules.
The repository's own README, the wordmark and the per-package READMEs are kept
from this side; the internal tree had dropped them and they are what a stranger
arriving here reads first.
The marketing site in the internal tree is deliberately not here. It is a
separate product with its own repo and its own licence, and this repo is the
open one — a closed component does not belong in it regardless of how convenient
the directory looked.
